Sterling K. Brown and Rita Ora have joined the cast of the highly anticipated live-action Voltron movie, set to be produced by Amazon MGM Studios. The movie is based on the popular 1980s anime series that has since expanded into comics, video games, and more. Sterling, known for his Emmy-winning role on This Is Us, and Rita, a singer and actress, will join Henry Cavill and John Kim in the movie, with Daniel Quinn-Toye, who previously understudied Tom Holland in Romeo & Juliet on the West End, set to lead the film.
The Voltron anime series centers around a team of space explorers who pilot a giant super robot, with further plot details yet to be revealed. The live-action adaptation has been in development since 2022, when Amazon MGM Studios picked up the script by Rawson Marshall Thurber and Ellen Shanman. Fans are eagerly awaiting more news about this exciting project!
